1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Have you ever noticed that when people are in love, they tend to
forget everything else? Everything becomes secondary — cars, houses,
money — nothing matters — it is all secondary to love. Then, when they
fall out of love, as in a divorce, all of a sudden those things mean
everything! They argue about all the little meaningless things they ever
owned together. Hmmm.
The same is true with Christ. Before we know Him, all we really
have are possessions. But when we come to know God — truly know Him —
those things mean very little — we're in love! We're willing to give up
everything. Those people who are most in love with God and filled with
His love are the least possessive and the least materialistic.
If we have been wrapped up in our possessions, we've lost sight of
our greatest treasure! All that stuff means nothing. Let go of it.
Return to your first love. Lighten your heart and fall in love again
with the love of God!
